  • FIG. 1 of parent application Ser. No. 842,287, filed Mar. 21, 1986 there is illustrated a post-mix beverage dispensing system for making a post-mix beverage of a selected single flavor, including a concentrate reservoir 10 coupled through a valve V to a flexible concentrate conduit CN.
  • the flexible concentrate conduit is operatively associated with a peristaltic pump P.
  • the flexible concentrate conduit CN extends to a mixing nozzle N to supply concentrate to an isolated mixing area.
  • a conventional water supply assembly for transporting carbonated water to the nozzle N. It may include, for example, a CO 2 bottle CB coupled through a pressure regulator R, which leads to a carbonator tank CT.
  • Water is supplied to the carbonator tank CT from a carbonator pump CP or a commercial water supply, if available.
  • the nozzle N causes the concentrate and carbonated water to be combined together in predetermined proportions for the creation of a post-mix beverage within a serving cup BC.
  • the concentrate supply system is similar to that in Ser. No. 842,286, the details of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • the supply of concentrate includes a plurality of unsweetened flavor concentrate modules 10-1, 10-2, 10-3 for selectively supplying one of three concentrate flavors to nozzle N through a multi-channel metering pump P. Pump P, and the manner in which it pumps selected flavor concentrates to nozzle N will be described hereinafter with respect to FIG. 5. It should be understood that even though only three flavor concentrate modules are illustrated in FIG. 1 that more or less may be provided as desired.
  • the carbonated water supply system of FIG. 1 of the present invention includes a source of carbonated water CW and a flow controller FC1 therefor for supplying carbonated water at a controlled rate of flow to nozzle N.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a preferred tri-mix system in which unsweetened flavor concentrate, sweetener syrup and carbonated water are mixed by nozzle N to form a post-mix carbonated beverage.
  • the flow control FC2 of FIG. 1 will be described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the interaction of the peristaltic pump P and the flexible concentrate supply conduits CN-1, CN-2, CN-3 in the concentrate dispensing assembly of the present invention.
  • each of the concentrate containers 10-1, 10-2, 10-3 may include a rigid outer shell 10B and an inner collapsible bag 10A. Rigid outer shell 10B is also provided with a vent 10C.
  • the collapsible bag 10A contains the unsweetened flavor concentrate to be dispensed and may be sealed to the periphery of the bottom 12 of container 10 so that the concentrate therein is in fluid communication with a flexible conduit CN.
  • the flexible conduits CN-1, CN-2, CN-3 have a first end secured to the rigid shell 10-B and a second end secured to valve 34.
  • the flexible conduits CNO-1, CNO-2, CNO-3 have a first end secured to the valve 34 and a second end secured to an injector 16 to be snapped into the nozzle structure of FIG. 2, to be discussed hereinafter.
  • conduit CN passes over a curved surface 12A in the bottom of container 10 into operative engagement with the periphery of peristaltic pump wheel PW when container 10 is inserted into the dispenser.
  • the mixing assembly and nozzle structure of the present invention suitable for use in the tri-mix system of FIG. 1.
  • the nozzle includes a frusto-conical housing 18, including an input end with a first toroidal plenum 20-1, which surrounds an axial bore 28 extending through the nozzle structure.
  • a second toroidal plenum 20-2 is disposed above and concentric with plenum 20-1.
  • Still water or carbonated water, such as from the carbonated water supply assembly CW of FIG. 1, is introduced through a tangentially disposed conduit 22-1 into the plenum 20 to create a swirling action of the water.
  • the water then passes down through passages 26 defined between radial partitions 24, and out of the discharge opening 30 of the nozzle to an isolated outboard mixing area 32.
  • Sweetener syrup from SWS is introduced through conduit 22-2 into plenum 20-2 and then into annular chamber 21 (FIG. 2).
  • concentrate is supplied through the injectors 16-1, 16-2, 16-3 mounted coaxially with the bore 28 at the input end of the nozzle housing to direct concentrate down the axis of the bore without touching any of the surfaces of the nozzle housing 18 until the concentrate converges at isolated area 32 with the water.
  • the concentrate and water will mix well together at the isolated area 32 just before falling into a beverage serving cup, such as BC of FIG. 1.
  • Nozzle N is also provided with an annular bore 21 extending from plenum 20-2 toward the nozzle exit, so sweetener syrup in plenum 20-2 mixes with carbonated water at area 31 downstream and inboard of the nozzle walls.
  • the nozzle structure of FIG. 3 is particularly advantageous in that neither the concentrate supplied through the flexible conduits CN-1, CN-2, CN-3, nor sweetened syrup touch any of the surfaces of the nozzle housing, and therefore preclude the need for any frequent sanitization of the nozzle housing 18. This also prevents flavor carry-over.
  • the concentrate assembly illustrated in FIG. 5 is totally disposable with the exception of the peristaltic pump wheel PW and the solenoid SN. Therefore, the sanitization and flavor carry-over problems normally associated with concentrate dispensing systems are eliminated.
  • FIG. 3 there is illustrated a possible embodiment of the flow control system FC2 of FIG. 1.
  • FC2 Connected between the univeral sugar/water syrup supply (sweetener) SWS and mixing nozzle N is flow controller FC2 shown here with three parallel branches. Each branch has a conventional in-line flow controller, such as C-1, C-2, C-3, and a solenoid valve SV-1, SV-2, SV-3.
  • the in-line flow controllers are set to provide flow rates compatible with the flavor concentrates 10-1, 10-2, 10-3, since different flavors may require different amounts of syrup or sweetener.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates in detail the operation of the multi-channel metering pump P of FIG. 1 for supplying selected unsweetened flavor concentrate for containers 10-1, 10-2, 10-3 to nozzle N simultaneously with syrup from source SWS.
  • a three-way valve 34 is disposed at the output side of the peristaltic pump wheel in the flexible supply conduit CN-1.
  • the three-way valve has an input port coupled to the flexible conduit CN-1 and two output ports, one of which communicates with concentrate output supply conduit CNO-1 extending to nozzle N, and the other of which is coupled to a concentrate recirculation conduit CNR 1 , leading to the inside of the collapsible bag 10A in the concentrate container 10.
  • the peristaltic pump wheel PW (see FIG. 5) and the associated motor (not shown) are provided with electrical power from a power source PS upon actuation of a product selection switch SB.
  • Variable resistor PC or any suitable motor speed control device is provided to adjust the speed of the peristaltic pump motor, and therefore the speed of rotation of the peristaltic pump wheel PW to selectively control the amount of concentrate dispensed for a given post-mix beverage during the period that the product selection switch SB is held down.
  • the concentration of the finished drink can thereby be adjusted.
  • the concentrate supply assembly for only one flavor of concentrate is illustrated in detail for clarity. However, additional, similar concentrate supply assemblies would be provided for the supply of concentrate through the additional flexible conduits CN-2, CN-3, etc., to the nozzle N.
  • An advantage of the multi-flavor system of the present invention is that the concentrate supply assemblies may utilize a common, cylindrical peristaltic pump wheel PW for operatively engaging the respective flexible concentrate supply conduits CN-1, CN-2, CN-3 by virture of the fact that concentrate may be selectively output from any of the concentrate supply assemblies depending on the condition of the three-way solenoid actuated valves 34.
  • three-way valves 34 may be best understood by reference to FIG. 5.
  • the three-way valves 34 may have a pair of valve elements 38, 40 mounted on a common stem 36 in operative association with an input port coupled to flexible conduit CN and output conduits coupled to flexible conduits CNO and CNR, respectively.
  • concentrate is positively displaced through flexible conduit CN into the input port of valve 34 and out the output port coupled to recirculation conduit CNR into the interior of flexible bag 10A.
  • concentrate will merely recirculate in a closed loop, and no concentrate will be dispensed through flexible conduit CNO to the concentrate injector structure 16.
  • a single peristaltic pump and associated cylindrical wheel PW may be utilized with a plurality of respective flexible conduits leading to concentrate containers of diel PW may be utilized with a plurality of respective flexible conduits leading to concentrate containers of different flavors and selective dispensing of the concentrate in the respective containers can be affected by actuation of a product selection switch such as SB in FIG. 5 to energize the solenoid-actuated three-way valve 34 in the concentrate dispensing sub-assembly having the desired flavor of the beverage to be dispensed.
  • a product selection switch such as SB in FIG. 5
  • the peristaltic pump wheel PW operatively associated with a rigid bottom portion of a concentrate container having a complementary-shaped exterior surface
  • the curved surface may be provided on a separate block such as PB illustrated in Figure 5.
  • the water supply assembly may have the capability of supplying either chilled still water or chilled carbonator water, as desired.
  • chilled still water may be supplied through a solenoid valve SVW to the nozzle N or, in the alternative, chilled carbonator water may be supplied from the carbonator tank CT through a solenoid valve SVC and a flow control valve FC to the nozzle N.
  • the carbonated water system in the illustration of FIG. 4 is supplied to the carbonator tank CT from a CO 2 bottle CB and a pressure regulator R.
  • the tri-mix system of the present invention could also be used for dispensing diet soft-drinks.
  • the artificial sweetener would then be part of the concentrate supply.
  • the artificially sweetened concentrate will mix with carbonated water only at the nozzle.
  • product 10-2 were DIET COKE, a registered trademark of the The Coca-Cola Company, either in-line flow control C-2 would be shut all the way off, or normally-closed solenoid valve SV-2 would be electrically disconnected so that no sugar syrup flows to the nozzle while product 10-2 is being dispensed.
  • sweetener can include sugar, corn syrups and artificial dietetic sweeteners or the like.
